5.4 Follow
Follow creates a virtual tether between Solo and your mobile device, allowing Solo to track you as you move. If
the Follow subject is engaged in an activity that prevents them from using the controller, you are required to use a
safety pilot during Follow. The subject will carry the mobile device and be followed by Solo, and the safety pilot will
hold the controller and be ready to regain manual control at any time.
Don’t allow more than 500 feet of distance between the controller and the mobile device; however, specific range
limits depend on the device being used. If too much distance is allowed between the controller and the mobile
device, the device could lose connection with the controller.

Always ensure that there is a clear path for Solo during Follow. It
will not avoid obstacles that come into the flight path as a result of
following the subject.
